I had a classmate in prep school whose German-born dad painted rich
folks homes - and got premium bucks for being meticulous - even got
written up in the NY Times for it. For most of my life, my godfather
(who spent half his ten navy years painting - that's what navy folks
do when bored) did a spotless job painting our house. Now he's old and
since he wouldn't let me learn, I make a mess. What I do recall tho,
is he used to drain the brush excessively. Of course, I use a sponge
spreader and finish ten times faster than he did.
